My' invention relates toa guard forliair In the drawings illustrating priii- 55 1 Perse e e i he of the objects of my invention is to provide a guard that will revent the hair 5 elirr hair from the clipper; I V j V A nother object is to provide a guard that will not interfere with the operation or handling of the hair clipper.

1O Anotherjobject is to' provide a guard that will not restrict the movement ofthe hair clipper.

Another object is to provide a guard that be easily applied to all hair clippers iaasey' v Another object is to provide a guard that can vbe used. in. conjunction with or on all makes of hair clippers. 1

Another object is to provide a'guard that is convenient to use and manipulate. V

, Another object is to provide a guard that can be easily connected to or on all hair clippers for operation. I 7

Another object is to provide'a guard that can be easily cleaned without removing it from the hair clipper, Or can be easily removed from hair clipper for cleaning.

Another object is to provide a guard which is composed of few and simple part or parts and may be manufactured at a comparatively slight cost.

Another object is to provide a guard which is strong, durable and compact.

Another object is to provide a guard that affords easy adjustment to all makes of hair clippers.

Another object is to provide a' guard which can be connected to all makes of hair clippers without removing any part or parts of the hair clippers.

Another object is to provide a guard which works with precision and thereby save time and labor.

,Another object is to provide a guard that will prevent the loose particles of hair from flying into the face of the operator of the hair clipper.

Another object is to provide a guard that willprevent the loose particles of hair from flying into the air.

Other objectsand advantages may become apparent to persons who read the following 7 details of description in connection with the accompanying drawings.

Figure '2 is a top plan'view of guard on a hair clipper; U y Figure 3 is a side elevation of guard'on ahair clipper. Y A I f Figure iis a perspective view" ofguard attached to a hair clipper withf screws. Dotted lines show guard in raised position. I j I Referring to the drawings in detail similar numerals correspond with similar parts throughout the several views. I e.

Sheet or plate 1. made to fit on, or over the hair clipper forming a space between the sheet or plat-e 1, and the upper knife plate 3 3, of the hair clipper. The aperture 2, is cut out so that the sheet or plate 1, can be adjusted on the hair clipper by fitting around the post or pin 7. Number 5, is the upper plate of a hair clipper which holds the upper knife plate 3, on and against the lower knife plate 4;. Number '6, is a nut that holds plate 5, on post or pin 7. Number is a spring between nut 6. and plate 5. Number 1', is a curve or bend made in. the guard. Number 1, is a dotted line showing position of guard when not curved or bent. Number 9, is a lug to hold guard oil? of knife plate.

. Number 10, is an arm from guard to hinge or other fastener 11. Number 12, is position of guard raised when a hinge or other fasteners are used in construction.

My new guard for hair clippers is used as follows:

The guard is for use on electric or any power driven hair clipper to prevent the loose particles of hair from flying into the air.

The guard is placed upon the clipper so that the edge will not extend beyond the pointsof the teeth of the lower knife plate of the clipper. The space between the guard and the upper knife plate of the clipper need not be of any stated width, just so the guard will not bear heavily on the upper knife plate of the clipper but not too far away so as to fail to stop the loose particles of hair from flying. Thus, the improved feature will be found exceptionally advantageous in preventing the flying of small particlesof hair and all danger of breathing said small particles of hair or of any of said particles of hair flying in the eyes will be eliminated.

Although I have described the embodiment of my invention very specifically it is not intended to limit my invention to these exact details of construction and arrangement of parts but I may make ininorchanges within the scope of the inventive idea disclosed in the foregoing description and appended claims and of course, the guard can be made in various sizes to fit the hair clipper on which it is to be used; made of Various kinds of materials and be fastened on the clipper by various methods such as by screws, springs, clips, etc.. or by welding or stamping to the upper plate that holds the upper knife plate against the lower knife plate of the hair clipper; any of which may usedas best suits the needs of those who use my.new guard for hair clippers.

What I claim as my invention:

1. In a device of the character described with an electric driven, or class described hair clipper, a guard comprising a sheet or resting lightly on the top of the upper knife plate and on a line adjacent the front edge of the lower knife plate.

2. In combination with an electric driven, or class described, hair clipper, a guard comprising a sheet or plate havinn a longitudinal aperture in one end, with lugs turned prising a sheet or plate having a longitudinal aperture in one end, with lugs turned down along the sides of the sheet or plate to supportsaid guard, and the front edge resting lightly on the top of the upper knife plate and on a line adjacent the front edge of the lower knife plate, which prevents overfeeding or choking of the clipper and forms a cavity under the sheet or plate which holds and retains the loose particles of hair.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this 28th day of March, 1923.
